A Dozen Plain Weave Pattern Drafts

Recently, I've been doing some fast weaving to build up my inventory of guitar straps.
It is fun for me to line them all up and compare and contrast designs. Hopefully, you will enjoy seeing them, too. The pattern drafts are included so that you can use them to help design your own bands. I ask that you don't copy any EXACTLY, as I assure my customers that these are one of-a-kind designs. All are 2" wide and mostly use my favorite sport weight cotton. In some cases, heavier or thinner yarns were also used.

FOR SIMPLICITY OF USE, CONSIDER THE TOP ROW TO BE HEDDLED THREADS AND THE BOTTOM ROW TO BE OPEN THREADS ON ALL OF THE DRAFTS. 





INKLE WEAVING PATTERN








In the one above, I experimented with using the yarns doubled to produce a thicker band.

    I really appreciate the way you laid out these patterns directly below the sample, I've been having a hard time visualizing how the patterns become the different designs, and this has finally made it crystal clear to me! Thank you!

    I am so glad I found your blog. I am just starting to learn to weave bands so I can make collars and leashes for my puppies and the inspiration here is plentiful. Your work is amazing, thank you for sharing.
